Summary

Your doctor recommended a hysterectomy….now what? In this modern, accessible resource by board-certified OB/GYN Dr. Kameelah Phillips, you’ll find everything you need to know to prepare before, during, and after surgery.

Hearing the words "you need a hysterectomy" make for a particularly hard pill to swallow for many women, even though the events prior to that conversation can be fraught with pain, heavy bleeding, fibroids, or endometriosis, among a range of uterine issues. An upwards of 500,000 hysterectomies are performed every year in the U.S. alone, and approximately 20 million women ranging in ages from 18-70 have had this procedure, and yet, there are few comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible resources that provide a complete view of the hysterectomy. This leaves those considering surgery to fend for themselves to gain a clear understanding of the process. The Empowered Hysterectomy is the antidote to the lack of medically sounds resources and the overwhelming amount of misinformation surrounding this procedure. 

Offered by Dr. Kameelah Phillips, a New York based, board certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist, this handbook is a comprehensive, evidence-based, and empowering guide all women need to read before a making a life-changing, irreversible decision about their health and well-being. This book will help avoid gaslighting and coercion by physicians and help women come to the table prepared and informed, better able to avoid potential pitfalls in the doctor-patient conversation around treatment options for common conditions that can lead to a hysterectomy, and elevate the discourse around our bodies for a community in need of transparency in medicine.

Dr. Phillips will discuss the ins-and-outs of the preparation for, surgical procedure, and recovery period; and also educate readers on the origins of hysterectomy, the ripple effect the procedure has had throughout our society, and offer a refresher on the female anatomy--something many women are often out of touch with. This is not a guide meant to convince readers to have surgery; Dr. Phillips will also address non-surgical options, including non-traditional holistic treatments and lifestyle modifications for managing pain.
